I am a roofing specialist with over 35 years’ experience, working across flat roofs, pitched roofs, and complex roof constructions. I started in general roofing before specialising in flat roofing, working with systems including EPDM rubber, single ply, liquid roofing systems, and traditional build-ups. Alongside inspections, I still carry out a significant amount of roofing work and roof repairs, particularly where leaks, condensation, or long-standing issues have been misdiagnosed or poorly repaired. This hands-on repair work informs how I approach roof inspections, roof surveys, roof reports, and drone roof inspections where access is restricted or unsafe. This channel explains how roofs actually work, covering warm roof construction, vapour control layers, moisture movement, and common roofing mistakes. All advice is general guidance only, as every roof should be assessed on its own merits.
